History
- Akko is mentioned in Tenach, though there are almost no remains from then.
- There are the remains of the city's defenses against Napolean. Yes, Napoleon! Eretz Yisrael is truly the center of the world.
- The Ramchal lived the last years of his life in Akko. There was a large Shul named in his honor. However, the Arab ruler destroyed the Shul, building a mosque there. The Jews were then given a small location to rebuild their Shul. They named it after the old Shul, The Ramchal Shul.
